Many large dams have been constructed for water supply, irrigation, flood control and hydropower in Korea for the last century. Meanwhile, recent studies indicated that the artificial reservoirs impounded by these dams are major sources of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to the atmosphere and relevant to global budget of green house gases. However, limited information is available on the seasonal variations of CO₂ evasion from the reservoirs located in the temperate monsoon regions including Korea. The objectives of this study were to estimate daily Net Atmospheric Flux (NAF) of CO₂ in Daecheong Reservoir located in Geum River basin of Korea, and analyze the influencing parameters that characterize the variation of NAF. Daily pH and alkalinity (Alk) data collected in wet year (2012) and dry year (2013) were used for estimating the NAFs in the reservoir. The dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was computed using the pH and Alk measurements supposing an equilibrium state among the carbonate species. The results showed seasonal variations of NAF; negative NAFs from May to October when the primary production of the reservoir increased with water temperature increase, while positive NAF for the rest of the period. Overall the reservoir acted as sources of CO₂ to the atmosphere. The estimated NAFs were 2,590 and 771 mg CO₂ m^-2d^-1 in 2012 and 2013, respectively, indicating that the NAFs vary a large extent for different hydrological years. Statistical analysis indicated that the NAFs are negatively correlated to pH, water temperature, and Chl-a concentration of the reservoir.

An artificial breeding method was carried out to investigate development of eggs and the early life history of Iksookimia longicorpa. The eggs of the female were obtained by injecting gonadotropin (LHRH) and fertilizingby the dry method in the laboratory. The mature eggs were separate, demersal, light yellowish, and averaged $1.53{\pm}0.07mm$ in diameter. In water temperature of $23{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, the eggs hatched in 50~72 hours after fertilization, and their lengths reached $5.1{\pm}0.23mm$ in total length. On Day 4 after hatching, they averaged $7.1{\pm}0.47mm$ in total length and their yolk sacs were completely absorbed. From 25 days after hatching, they attained a juvenile stage reaching $12.8{\pm}0.49mm$ in total length. On the 100th dayafter hatching, their band patterns and external form were similar to those of adults, and they averaged $38.5{\pm}2.95mm$ in total length.

The rainfall-runoff characteristics in Jeju Island significantly differ from those in inland, due to highly permeable geologic features driven by volcanic island. Streams are usually sustained in the dry conditions and thereby the rainfall-runoff characteristics changes in terms of initiating stream discharge and its types, depending highly on the antecedent precipitation. Among various the rainfall-runoff characteristics, lag time mainly used for flood warning system in river and direct runoff ratio for determining water budget to estimate groundwater recharge quantity are practically crucial. They are expected to vary accordingly with the given antecedent precipitation. This study assessed the lag time in the measured hydrograph and direct runoff ratio, which are especially in the upstream watershed having the outlet as $2^{nd}$ Dongsan bridge of Han stream, Jeju, based upon several typhoon events such as Khanun, Bolaven, Tembin, Sanba as well as a specific heavy rainfall event in August 23, 2012. As results, considering that the lag time changed a bit over the rainfall events, the averaged lag time without antecedent precipitation was around 1.5 hour, but it became increased with antecedent precipitation. Though the direct run-off ratio showed similar percentages (i.e., 23%)without antecedent precipitation, it was substantially increased up to around 45% when antecedent precipitation existed. In addition, the direct run-off ration without antecedent precipitation was also very high (43.8%), especially when there was extremely heavy rainfall event in the more than five hundreds return period such as typhoon Sanba.

In order to analysis of the water pollution of the Anyang stream(one of the biggest branch streams of the Han River) and its main tributaries, the geological and topographical and rainfall features in its basin were investigated. To do this, the water samples were collected 23 points of the upper, mid and down of Anyang stream and its tributaries and were analyzed based on the chemical methods, Korean Biotic Index(KBI) and Saprobien systems. The Anyang stream basin has a characteristic of topographical torrential heavy rainfall like a typical rainfall feature in Korea. The concentration and the outflow rate of rainfall is very different in seasonal, and water pollution in dry season is especially severe. After 1997, although the water quality status of stream has been improved gradually, the concentration of T-N and SS at the upstream is increased due to the deficiency of facility used for collecting wastewater released from industrial factories, livestock farms and residential areas. The mainstream of the Anyang stream is classified into the 5th grade water as polysaprobic water area according to Saprobien system and the biotic index is over 2.5 in overall. Most of tributaries have 1~3 grade water limit with ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-mesosaprobic except the upper and mid streams of Samsung tributary, in which pollution status is the lowest part. Though Sambong tributary is ${\alpha}$-mesosaproboic, biotic index is low because of the appearance of abundant benthos animals in farming and fishing villages.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv. Luna) seeded in agar was inoculated with two strains of Rhizobium meliloti isolated from root nodules of alfalfa for assessment of nodulation. The seedling growth after six weeks was remarkably increased by adding each rhizobia strains into agar media and also by nitrate application (70ug N/ml), but there was no significant difference among them. Nodulations started one week after inoculation and increased its numbers and sizes as seedling grew. Therefore, the two strains isolated from alfalfa root were concluded to be effective strains. For determining seed inoculation method the same cultivar was inoculated with both rhizobia strains using different inoculation methods such as broth-vacuum, peat-adhesive, peat & lime pelleting. They were seeded in pots of river sand and supplied with culture solution excluded nitrogen. The peat & lime pelleting was recognized the best method in both of nodulation and seedling growth after eight weeks growth. There were significant correlations between the weight of nodules and the shoot or root dry weight of alfalfa in both rhizobia strains.

Ongoing huge Bakun Hydropower project is including the construction of a 210 m height hydroelectric rockfill dam with an installed capacity of 2,520 MW and a power transmission system connecting to the existing networks between Sarawak and peninsula Malaysia. In order to allow the main dam construction during the dry season, the Ballui river will have to be detoured through 3 concrete lined diversion tunnels with an internal diameter of 12 m and a length of 1,400 m each. The geology of Bakun site belongs to the several thousand meters thick Belaga formation deposited from the late Cteteceous to the early Teriary in the Northwest Borneo geosyncline. The orientation of the bedding plane, strike at N55$^{\circ}$E to N70$^{\circ}$E and dip at 50$^{\circ}$SE to 70$^{\circ}$SE, is developed uniformly in Bakun sedimentary rocks. Rock mechanical characteristics of Bakun site have been classified into 4 rock mass types(RMT) depending on the degree of weathering and the occurrence of rock jointing with RMR. Graywacke(Sandstone) as well as Shale can take place together in the same rock mass type if their rock mass properties are similar. It was summarized the rock support type and support system design of underground diversion tunnels in view of rock mechanics.

강수량이 적은 갈수기에는 하천수량이 적어 소량의 오염물질의 유입으로도 하천수질의 악화를 불러일으킬 수 있다. 특히 2014년에는 한강수계의 강수량이 예년의 46%정도이며 이로 인한 저수율은 예년의 75%정도로 저조하여 봄철 갈수기에 수질악화가 우려된다. 한강은 비교적 수질이 양호하여 녹조가 발생하는 일이 낙동강, 금강, 영산강보다 적으나 가뭄의 영향으로 하천수질 악화 및 녹조현상이 발생할 우려가 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 남한강과 북한강의 봄철 수질전망을 통한 녹조발생 위험도를 예측하고자 하였다. 수질예측에 사용된 모형은 미국공병단(USACE)에서 개발한 2차원 하천수리 수질모형인 CE-QUAL-W2이며, 본 연구에 이용된 CE-QUAL-W2는 K-water 통합수질예측시스템(SURIAN)을 이용하여 구축하였다. 연구 대상지역은 북한강의 소양강댐 하류와 팔당호지점, 남한강의 강천보, 여주보, 이포보 지점에 대해 조류농도에 대한 예측을 수행하였다. 미래 수질예측을 위한 유량 자료는 평년 빈도유량을 사용하였으며, 기상자료는 유사는 분석을 통해 과거기상과 가장 유사한 패턴을 보이는 년도의 기상자료를 사용하여 모형을 구동하였다. 2~4월 남한강과 북한강의 Chl-a농도에 대하여 2013~2014년 평균치와 2015년 수질예측치를 비교한 결과 북한강은 4월에 예년대비 최고 61% Chl-a 농도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 남한강은 2월에 Chl-a농도가 최고 106% 증가되는 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구를 통해 2015년 봄철 갈수기 녹조가 예년보다 증가 할 것으로 나타났으며, 다른 수계보다 비교적 적은 농도이지만 주기적인 수질예측과 하천 모니터링을 통해 하천수질을 관리하고 수질오염을 예방하는 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다.

임진강 유역은 우리나라와 북한과의 접경지역에 속하는 유역으로서 임진강은 북한에서 발원하여 남한으로 흘러 한강으로 유입되는 공유하천으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구 유역은 이수, 치수, 수질, 환경 측면에서 타 유역에 비해 불안요소가 많은 지역이므로 남북한의 관계 개선을 통한 효과적인 대책 수립에서 공동의 노력이 필요한 지역이라 할 수 있다. 과거에 집중호우와 태풍의 영향 등으로 인하여 많은 피해로 인하여 이에 따른 대책과 많은 계획 등이 수립되었고, 북한의 무단방류에 따른 사고로 인하여 피해로 인하여 이를 극복하고, 홍수를 조절하는 목적으로 군남홍수조절지, 한탄강홍수조절댐을 건설하여 홍수에 따른 선제적 대응과 주민 피해 등을 방지하고자 하였다. 그러나 최근 경기북부를 포함한 임진강 유역의 가뭄으로 인한 유량의 감소로 인하여, 2014~2015년의 파주 장단반도 일대의 농업용수 부족과 하구의 조위, 즉 염도에 의한 영향으로 하류부 급수 불량 등 이수적 측면에서 주민들의 피해 문제가 속출하고 있는 실정이다. 위와 같은 배경을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 임진강 유역에 위치한 기상 수문관측자료(2000년~2015년)를 이용하여 다음 내용을 연구하였다. 첫째로 수문기상인자들의 경향성 분석을 통하여 임진강 유역의 유량 감소 원인을 파악하였으며, 수문기상인자들의 감소에 따른 영향과 북한 댐건설에 따른 유역변경 영향에 대하여 분석을 수행하였다. 전체적으로 임진강 유역의 유량은 감소추세에 있으며, 북한 댐건설의 영향이 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 최근 2014년과 2015년의 유량 감소는 강수량의 감소 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째로 북한 댐건설에 의한 영향을 살펴보기 위해 임진강 상류를 대상으로 하천유출모형인 PDM을 이용하여 장기유출모의를 수행하였으며, 모의결과 북한 댐건설에 의해 유출특성이 변하였음을 확인하였다. 세 번째로 임진강 유역 갈수량을 추정하고 물 부족량 및 필요수량을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 북한 댐건설 이후를 기준으로 물 부족량이 발생하였으며, 이에 필요한 필요 수량을 제안하였다. 또한 최근 2014년과 2015년과 같은 비상시에 대한 필요 수량도 제안하였다. 마지막으로 앞서 제안한 필요 수량을 확보하기 위해 기존댐 담수 및 연계운영, 신규 수자원 확보 방안, 남북 공유하천 공동 관리 방안 등의 대응방안을 제안하였다.

충주댐 하류 남한강 본류에서는 매년 봄철 지속되는 가뭄으로 인한 유량감소와 과다한 영양염류 유입으로 인해 부영양화 현상이 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 남한강 본류로 유입되는 주요 하천(섬강, 청미천, 양화천, 복하천)을 대상으로 중점관리가 필요한 우심하천 및 주요 오염원을 선별하고자 갈수기 오염부하 특성 및 남한강 본류에 대한 기여율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 갈수기 조건에서의 오염부하 및 기여율은 섬강에서 BOD5 852.0 kg/day(41.3%), T-P 59.0 kg/day(56.8%)로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 유량 및 수질 모니터링 기간 내 발생한 점 기저비점 오염부하가 남한강 본류에 미치는 기여율 BOD5 52.8%, COD 52.1%, TOC 53.0%, SS 41.3%, T-N 47.7%, T-P 30.0%, Chl-a 47.8%로 섬강에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 그리고 전국오염원조사 자료를 바탕으로 산정된 수질항목에 대한 오염원별 전체 배출부하 또한 섬강에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 토지계, 생활계, 축산계 오염원 순으로 높은 비중을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 충주댐 하류 남한강 본류 갈수기 수질을 효율적으로 개선하기 위해서는 섬강을 중점적으로 점오염원 관리뿐만 아니라, 기저비점을 통합적으로 관리하기 위한 대책 마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 극한 가뭄이 지속되는 상황을 고려한다면, 충주댐 하류 남한강 본류 갈수기 수질오염 개선에 활용될 실효성 있는 대책 및 유역관리 정책 수립에 대한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of sewerage facilities through I/I analysis by rainfall by selecting areas where storm overflow diverging chamber is remained due to the non-maintenance drainage equipment when the sewerage system was reconstructed as a separate sewer system. Research has shown that wet weather flow(WWF) increased from 106.2% to 154.8% compared to dry weather flow(DWF) in intercepting sewers, and that the WWF increased from 122.4% to 257.6% in comparison to DWF in storm overflow diverging chamber. As a result, owing to storm overflow diverging chamber of partially separate sewer system with untreated tributary of sewage treatment plant, rainfall-derived infiltration/inflow(RDII) has been analyzed 2.7 times higher than the areas without storm overflow diverging chamber. Meanwhile, infiltration quantity of this study area was relatively higher than that of other study areas. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce infiltration quantity through sewer pipe maintenance nearby river. Drainage equipment maintenance should be performed not to operate storm overflow diverging chamber in order to handle the appropriate sewage treatment plant capacity for rainfall because it is also expected that RDII due to rain will occur after maintenance. In conclusion, it is necessary to recognize aRDII(allowance of rainfall-derived infiltration/inflow) and to be reflected it on sewage treatment plant capacity because aRDII can occur even after maintenance to the complete separate sewer system.
